In linguistics, we combine finite number of words to construct vast number of sentences under a shared understanding of the grammar.
Wilkinson (2005) introduced “the grammar of graphics” as a paradigm to describe plots by combining a finite number of components.
Wickham (2010) interpreted the grammar of graphics into the ggplot2 R package (as part of his PhD project)
The grammar of graphics paradigm is also interpreted in other programming languages such as Python (e.g., plotnine), Julia (e.g., VegaLite.jl), and JavaScript (e.g., Vega).
